He's up $22,370 since October of 2014. Right now he's on a breakeven stretch that goes back to April of this year. He's $857 away from being able to buy that Boosted Board which he started working towards buying on July 24th.

PokerKraut is a nit but sometimes even nits will have hot streaks where opponents keep shipping them stacks.

A value oriented strategy tends to work best for low stakes which is what PokerKraut employs. PokerKraut is clearly more disciplined than Trooper and while his fundamentals aren't that great they are probably better than Trooper's.

Assuming that number is somewhat accurate, Trooper is taking home about $7,300 per year.

No paid medical insurance, vacation days, or 401(k) contributions, but he does get Patreon, hat sales, and Starbucks giftcards.

Trooper gets 5 tables, but Kraut gets the superstars. Brad Owens, Vinnie Favorito, The Prince, and last but not least TBC all show up in Krauts latest

May take a few years but eventually Trooper will have to go back to work.

Youtube earnings will constantly go down
Viewers will constantly go down
Merchandise sales will will constantly go down
He cant make money at poker

In today's vlog, Trooper thanks someone for giving him a Starbucks gift card and then repeats his admonition about how people shouldn't spend money on him with Starbucks cards. Then in the same breath he says he's running low on Starbucks money. LOL.

I don't think I call a 50K all-in and then a 160K all-in raise with 130K behind holding QQ....17 away from the money. Would you?

Does youtube and number crunchers on 2+2 keep track of no. of views to no. of subscribers ratios? It seems to me that our 360 hero is the lowest of the bunch! It is my understanding that when it comes to youtube $s, subscribers mean nothing but the views "count" towards youtube payments. Can someone clarify this?

BTW, I can't help but mention that he does work. He's been working his ass off ever since he got in the hat sales business. Poker player, hat sales, hat delivery, youtube vlogs, poker host, poker commentator, poker celebrity...he's doin' work.

Yes you only get paid for views. But the point of having subscribers is because they increase the views (in theory) as subscribers will be notified when you release a new video (usually just via the Recommended videos on the home page unless you click the little bell that will alert you when a new video is released). Also subscriber count is what potential advertisers ask for if you ask for a sponsorship deal of some kind. It's bragging rights.

Trooper isn't going broke anytime soon. If he's smart, he'll turn the Westgate games into an ongoing thing and become a poker host which will give him an additional income stream.

We would probably have to read the most absurd thinking in a live game thread to find out why he folded. Like, he probably folded because with QQ, he only had 2 outs, but would have called with QJ because he would have 6 outs.

He should've left the game when he got even then, or acted like he just sat down and that was his first hand.
